This is the ongoing journal of my travels, photography, experience with people, places and equipment.
Busy days in Tokyo
Tokyo, Japan, November 7 - 15, 2015
Tokyo was my first destination on the eight weeks Asian tour 2015. I had put in a day or two to work the jetlag from Europe to Japan, and then it was three days of portrais and reportage for an American magazine before the workshop started in the Leica Gallery Ginza.
The next Overgaard Workshop in Tokyo will be October 2015 when the Halloween is happening. Tokyo has the wildest Halloween in the world.
Weoke up very early the first days. That's how I got to take this photo in Ginza early morning 7AM in the rain. © 2015 Thorsten Overgaard.

APEC and workshop in Manila
Manila, Philippines, November 15 -19, 2015.
Arrived in Manila just at the same time as the APEC 2015 (Asia-Pacific Economic Coorporation) is happening. I have the pleasure of walking and photographing in Manila as it's all decorated for Christmas and APEC, the main streets are closed off and there are security guards on all roads.
On the day of the editing in the Overgaard Workshop Manila we will be working literarily next to Obama speaking at the APEC.
The Manila visit is our first and gave us a day off to handle e-mail and more. Here we're in the center of the APEC at The Peninsula Hotel. Leica M 240 with Leica 50mm Noctilux-M ASPH f/0.95.

From my recent lecture "Noctilux - King of the Night" about the Leica 50mm f/0.95 lens. We had a group of about 80 people Tuesday evening. Thanks to everyone for showing up.

"Dear Thorsten,
I don't know what to say other than I am blown away. What an astonishing piece, "A Lesson in Leica History". With my background as a dealer, factory technician, collector and user, I thought that I pretty much knew the history of Leica. Thank you so much for this enjoyable education about my beloved Leica.I will save this and enjoy it for years to come."

Exhibition, leture and workshop in Singapore
Singapore, November 26 - December 3, 2016
I did a lecture in Singapore on November 26 and the the Overgaard Workshop Singapore November 27-29, 2016.
I also opened my "Exhibition Von Overgaard" in the Leica Gallery Singapore on November 27 where all the proceeds went to Caring for Cambodia; schooling, dentist work, clean water and more for the kids of Cambodia.
The "Exhibition Von Overgaard" was the best-selling exhibition in the history of the Leica Gallery Singapore. On the opening night we raised SG$ 10,000 that all goes to the children of cambodia, and the exhibition continues throughout December 2015. Read the story about the exhibition here:
